    The room is plain. No more, or less, than she expected. The walls and bed are a cream white, and the carpet a violent shade of burgundy, the colour that wine stains just blend into. She puts down the bag with the pistol in it beside the bed and rubs at what turns out to be a cigarette burn on the duvet with one thumb. The window swings outward on cobwebbed hinges and the warm night drifts in. A midsummer night's breeze. She slips off her shoes and pads over to the window, intending to close it, yet she can't find the parting in the curtain, and tugs at the folds of fabric, the sepia flower pat...sqOone door

    What are dreams? Why do we have them? Why do they sometimes take us to green pastures and valleys full of wild flower scents and sometimes they are so brutal they suck our souls out of our bodies? Sometimes they leave you wanting more, a little more time in the dreamscape. And sometimes we have to fight for breath running away from our demons.
